is the laundry. 1t has stationary wash
tubs lined with porcelain. and each ri these
tubs has a spigot for hot and one for cold
water. The rest of :he house gets no smell
from the cooking, and Senator Palmer tells

rooms and the elevator which goes f!u...

which are winding mahogany staircases. At
the right are two parlors finished in white and
gold and fitted out with CRATES and beautiful
mantels, under the shelves of which are
fawns' heads carved in wood.

. parlor. Its floors are Of cement and its
wood is Of Georgia pine, the grain of which
comes out so beautifully under high polish
The ceiling is vanished and polished like TINT
Of a seaside cottage and the doors To the FIVE
stalls hang on heavy hinges Of brass. The
managers for hay and grain are OF iron. and
each horse has feed box and an iron barrel
CRATE which will hold a good feed Of hay
This stable has no offensive smell, and il j.,

horses In his cellar. He kept man busy
flooding the floors of the stable with water
and used numerous d.oios;zers, but failed t.
kill the smell -.
